If you notice anything that doesn't seem to be working correctly or have any feedback, please let me know. — Richard G. Good point T.R about man being the crown of God’s creation because we were made in His image ... and not the angels and animal kingdom. Just wondering when the wild animals are tamed ... does anyone have a wish to have one for a pet? I would love to have a talking cub bear Indeed the Lord wants also to redeem His creation, to the inclusion of animals. I can't argue with scripture but can't for the life of me understand why animal sacrifices will need to continue after the sacrifice of Christ! That said, can't believe that animal sacrifice will continue in the New Heaven and Earth. Secondly, I guess people being born in the Millennium will need to understand the sacrifice of Christ on a first hand basis. They must experience what we experienced, both good and bad. I question as to whether animals ever had the ability to speak, ever. Just as martyr's are reward I would imagine there is something in it for the animals as well. But's let's be clear here, Man was the crown of His creation, not the angels and not animals. I think we being created in God's image and likeness must trump all other creation, as this seems to be the heart of God. Sadly this particular delienation seems to be obscured, even more so with animal lovers! Should we love animals more so than a beautiful sunrise or sunset, or a new born baby? I think not!!! TR
